About Zirconia Alumina Composite Beads
Item Code: ZAL-Beads
ZAL-32 / ZAL-27 beads are unique products, developed by CHEMCO expert R&D team after many years of research and hard work. The patented formulations combine the good properties of two advanced ceramic materials (ZrO2 & Al2O3), bringing beads excellent toughness as well as outstanding breakage resistance. Higher density of the media compared with glass could increase the milling efficiency. And the smooth bead surface offers extremely low wear to the mill internal components. Thus these beads can substitute glass beads very well.
- Unique formula, patented
- Superior performance-price ratio to other low-medium density media like glass and alumina beads
- Substitutes glass beads by increasing milling efficiency and reducing mill wear
Engineered for Demanding Grinding ApplicationsConstructed from a durable Zirconia Alumina composite, these beads deliver high compressive strength, exceptional hardness, and extremely low contamination levels, making them perfect for processes requiring precision and stability. Their unique properties ensure compatibility with a wide range of sensitive materials and harsh environments.
Versatility Across Multiple IndustriesZirconia Alumina Composite Beads find extensive use as grinding media in the ceramics, paint, ink, and coatings sectors. Their uniform size distribution and high sphericity ensure consistent milling and dispersing, while the non-porous structure prevents material loss and cross-contamination, even with continuous operation.
FAQs of Zirconia Alumina Composite Beads:
Q: How are Zirconia Alumina Composite Beads used in milling and polishing processes?
A: These beads serve as grinding media in ball mills and dispersers, facilitating the efficient breakdown and homogenization of materials. Their high hardness and smooth surface ensure minimal wear and maintain sample purity, especially for sensitive or high-value products such as ceramics or specialty coatings.
Q: What benefits do Zirconia Alumina Composite Beads offer compared to traditional grinding media?
A: They provide significantly higher wear resistance, extremely low contamination risk, and superior compressive strength. The near-perfect sphericity and polished finish enhance grinding efficiency, reduce operational noise, and ensure a longer service lifespan than most standard media.
Q: When should I choose these beads over other types of grinding media?
A: Select Zirconia Alumina Composite Beads when processing demanding or high-purity materials, or when prolonged operational cycles and minimal product contamination are critical. Their robust design is particularly advantageous in high-energy milling and applications requiring temperatures up to 1000C.
Q: Where is this product commonly applied?
A: These beads are widely used in ceramics manufacturing, as well as in paints, inks, and coatings industries. They are also suitable for scientific laboratories and any process involving high-performance milling or fine particle dispersion.
Q: What is the process for ordering customized bead sizes or capacities?
A: To order custom sizes or bulk capacities, contact the manufacturer, supplier, exporter, or trader in India with your specific requirements. Various diameters (0.2 mm to 50 mm) and capacities can be accommodated to match different application needs.
Q: How does the low water absorption and non-porous structure benefit performance?
A: The beads non-porous, almost zero water absorption nature eliminates moisture-induced swelling, leakage, or contamination, enabling consistent mechanical performance and stable chemical resistance even in prolonged or high-temperature environments.
